2. Take advantage of the 6-month rule and overturn as many of Trump's last actions as possible--immediately.

3. Set orders to restaff the agencies and departments with qualified personnel, starting with the State Department. Start by rehiring as many of the long-term staffers (particularly those with decades of experience) as possible.

4. Contact all allies to reaffirm long-standing treaties.

5. Have lunch!

6. Send list of qualified nominees for the Cabinet to Congress for approval.

7. Visit Congress. During visit I will make it clear that I will READ every bill that crosses my desk and will veto any bill that includes poison pill clauses.

8. Invite PM of Canada and President of Mexico for good-neighbor discussions.

9. Visit the UN and make clear that the US is prepared to rejoin the other nations of the world.

10. Come up for air, look around and then decide on the next step.

Good stuff so far, for sure.

For me, #1 would be the Paris Accord for the battle of global warming. Not just to be a part of it, BUT TO LEAD - that is what a LEADER is supposed to do!
